"In a separate hearing Wednesday at the Bucharest Tribunal, Tate lost an appeal that challenged assets seized by prosecutors, including properties and a fleet of luxury cars, said Ramona Bolla, a spokesperson for Romanian anti-organized crime agency DIICOT."

"If prosecutors can prove the Tates gained money through human trafficking, Bolla said that the assets could be used to cover the expenses of the investigation and compensation for victims."

"The agency said victims were lured by pretenses of love, and later intimidated, kept under surveillance and subjected to other control tactics while being coerced into performing in pornography that was intended to make money for their alleged persecutors."

This man is being crushed under the weight of his own image. Perfectly lined up. I don't even disagree with the Andrew Tate on a lot of things having read a bit more, but if quid pro quo karma exists it punishes the haughty via the rules of comedy.

"Nah Mr. Tate, these women were falling all over you because you're hotshit, remember? You're the fucking man! With a HUNK like you they couldn't have been in it for the money! But here, let's give them all your fucking money. Just follow your own advice! Hustle! Hustle! Hustle!"

All because he tried to dunk on Greta for suggesting that he has a small dick - for brandishing his fleet of cars at her, which - POOF! Gone. Those cam whores are going to wring him dry, and that's really what he gets for surrounding himself with high-powerlevel gold digger thots. They're going to take off with all his shit. This is what money-worship gets you.

I would echo with a chorus of leftist faggots if I said that this was all due to the fucking pizza box, but his entire jenga tower was undone by his own hubris.

It is also reported that DeSantis can do a kickflip, wears all of his hats backwards, and also suggests in his own words that Covid-19 is "LIKE, TOTALLY BOGUS DUDE!".

I won't geotag myself if I haven't already, but in some places you really are better off having some hens yourself.

I think that was the second movie, which in hindsight they likely made that decision to vindicate the first movie.

The man is in a league of his own.

I didn’t know they had an issue with it

I think my first exposure to the criticism was with Roger Ebert's review, in how he made a complete detour into how some super-aryan just decapitated a black man, then rambled on about nazis.

Remember when they whined and kvetched about James Earle Jones being cast as Thulsa Doom in Conaan the Barbarian? He was fucking perfect, probably one of my favorite villains and they shit on it.

Gee, couldn't be that with all the castration going around that some people might have thought of it as a good backup plan.

Say you capture about 30,000 men throughout this whole thing. Snip their bait and tackle off and send them back; no great war crime has been committed (atleast not as the world overlooks it) and that is a vast exponential generational swathe if you're thinking about the next 100 years. Now add all that end up getting killed.

Hell of a "brother" war.

I always saw the whole "never raise your voice as we screech and squawk, get in your face, and get in your fucking head" thing as complete psychological manipulation that robs a man of his natural defenses against the more intimate forms of abuse, the kind that you basically cannot count on a woman not to do regardless of whether you are perceived as strong or weak - you almost have to bark, it's nature. There are those who hold the mentality of abundance, or believe whole heartedly in taking the ball and leaving but honest to God, "alimony" doesn't have a "gigachad" ring to it, and it is probably better to put a woman in her place naturally. A bit of a diatribe but it is the wellspring of this issue.

In everyday situations, there are times when you have to be an asshole.

There is a precedent for keeping cool, but sometimes the gordian knot has to be cut or people in general just walk all over you and play their passive aggressive bullshit on tap - the shit takes a toll on a man. It seems where this is going is "being assertive is abuse!", give it about 10 years.

He reminds me of Lt. Col. Michael A. Aquino.

I'll accuse the liberal "man" of a lot of things, but none are so cowardly and disrespectable as the whiney, comfort worshipping couch-potato conservative.

OY! COOL IT WITH THE ANTISEMITISM!

Making a hasty escape from Stacy Abrams, you seek safe refuge in dark bedroom.

As you turn on the lights - you see CRAB NICHOLSON! HE HAS NO MITTENS! HIS CLAWS ARE MENACING!

They always seem to have this dumbfuck mouth-half-ajar look about them too. Nobody can close their mouth completely or stop licking their fucking lips every 30 seconds to a minute or so (20+ minutes adds up, watch season 1).

I've kind of noticed that as of late.

Seems like a weighty decision. He must've really needed to cut the fat on this one.

It must be like 5,400,000lbs off his shoulders.

I'm glad that even these people see it.

they were swept under the fucking rug

It's a huge fuckin' rug, one they intend to sweep us under. All for a big wealth siphon, a big wall to lock out any new wealth under a new system where there is only the illusion of class mobility, and the blissful and willing subordination of any future peasant revolt.

We are on the chopping block. We are about the enter the 4th industrial revolution and it is really important to single out the dissidents so that "rule .308" never foments.

Some of these elites and old wealth think they're the good guys, others think there is no such thing as "good", then others still who think it's their birthright to subjugate. Among the three, none of them can collectively see themselves as wrong - kings three.

There is still an optimist in me I suppose, crushed again and again, but still moseying on with hopes of synthesizing some type of sanity in this clownworld. If it all came rushing back and they started enforcing draconian policies again I guess my first instinct would be to cite this among other things, but what traction would it get? Normies are so terrified of ostracism that they would rather significantly shorten their lives or face a plethora of almost unreportable consequences - wherein which the "schizos" are constantly and quietly vindicated, than ever be given a label that marks them as socially invalid. They made not taking the shot look so bad that even those with profound skepticism were not going to stand up for themselves, not even to uphold basic standards of empirical examination of what was being administered, to even want to know beyond the hypotheticals earned you a tinfoil hat. They proved that most people value comfort, social status, and employment over intellectual honesty, common sense, and life itself.

And on this topic, so much of normie life is so ornamental that they will die for vogue. Even if it is fucking ridiculous. Remember how they'd smoke "because it was cool" and if you didn't you were some kind of dweeb? Slippery slope. Now it's "inject your kid with the mystery goop or you're a fucking whackjob and a bad parent! You will be the big hen if you do, everyone will think you're ahead of the curve! So witty and informed! Think of the posturing! Everyone will shit on you if you don't! Think of the embarassment!". Those who did it for social acceptance/leverage will latch onto it and never give ground, it is part of their posturing and there is no option that makes them look better for honesty, especially if someone they hated was on the other side of the argument (southern relatives). Those who did it on a functional/vocational basis don't even want to think about it.

I think a lot of the problem and the solution both reside in what is fashionable. Now that a lot of this has come out... strangely enough, no one is being put on the hotplate, those in the know hide and say shit along the lines of "we were operating at the speed of science!" "people just wanted to keep their jobs!" "please don't say pureblood!".

That said, I think there should first be a push towards the complete social ostracization of those who viciously propagated vaccination propaganda it should make them look especially bad.

Sad thing is, even if you showed this to people they'd go right back to parroting the same nonsense and you'd be labelled a conspiracy theorist for even bringing it up.

Any good artist is looking into AI and incorporating it into their work flow

There exists the tentative prospect. I am not beyond incorporating it if it were trained on my own work and assets. I have previously voiced a particular dislike of troon devs setting the table on this however, and it would have to be stripped. I have other reasons, but that is an entire lecture. I don't think it's just bad artists with qualms about this.

I am into programming, I learn some new languages all the time or I at least get the general gist of it, why? Because I don't want to be left behind.

It isn't so much getting left behind as much as it is battling websites who exist because of artists on their automatic opt-in/no opt-out. It is a mutual dependance and I think places like artstation have done the artist wrong.

There is no real good comparison between art and a hell of a lot else, but if I were go draw one I'd liken it to a widescale unconsentual grab of whatever passes for copyrighted work in programming and an incorporation into that horrendous drag and drop style of programming - I forget the term, but even that would be insufficient to describe what is going on here.

Frankly that disgusts me, but hey, give unironic commies a fucking inch.

That said, I hope someone makes an RJ Palmer machine that is better than him.

Good God I hate being an artist. You know what? Fuck it. AI time. Tired of these faggots. It is this way all the way up the pipeline. If they love trannies and globohomo so much then they can be devoured by them.

Fuck em.

Sat their drooling over how they could lynch us - but don't say pureblood pls thank you :)

No consequences for me! :)

I think there is a hidden optimism that some people tend to have, the desire for that one standout representative of their views and a lot of us sympathized with Jordan Peterson in the beginning. For a lot of people, in the days of milk and honey, it was him, he was thee guy.

Turns out the slippery slope is real and shit escalates, views change, and you begin to realize he's actually very lukewarm. Resentment builds as he illustrates himself as a cuck who smooches the feet of your enemy and all the people making the world shitty for you and yours - then you see that his philosophy inasfar as we're concerned is to stand and get slapped around for the sake of individuality and a completely misguided idea of assertive decorum instead of collectivizing where all our enemies are tagging in, fist bumps all around, shaking hands, and sharpening their knives loudly while having a laugh between themselves about what quarter they're going to take off us. But hey at least we've got clean bedrooms! Atleast we're not nazis! Yowza! Imagine if the roles were reversed! Don't they know how noble and complete we are?!

Then comes the demoralizing realization that all of the real heros died squealing like the boxcutter ukranian and you stand on the shoulders of cuckolds, that pretty much all of what you previously thought about red vs blue was a fucking lie sold to you as a nice little designer opinion - that all of this was inevitable and basically pointless and that to even be a noticeable player in the game you have to grovel and kiss the rings. Money only likes the middling.

There are no heroes and people ought to stop placing them on a pedestal out of naivety.

You have been invited to Lake LaoGai for retraining with our experts.

Meh, I think the right is a workable improvement and I have seen worse pass for illustration. Granted, poorly utilized perspective will always look bad in ways that AI can't really fix, the legs on both of these hurt me. I cannot argue that the AI didn't improve this man's work - but that is no excuse to not get better, and this example makes it painfully clear.

Also, being conservative with detail is very much a design 101 thing and I am surprised that such a lofty name as RJ would even think to present the reduction of redundant detail as an argument against AI, but then again his work tends to be gritty reboots of pokemon ala Dave Rapoza - decent, but a dumb argument nevertheless.
